Topic: SWIG package

Did you make a custom executable to spit out Fortran wrapper code using the SWIG module?  Or is it just the regular SWIG program?  Because normally it doesn't (at least I think it doesn't) do Fortran.

I'm looking to use a few C libraries in Fortran, and the less wrapper code I have to write, the happier I'll be, so SWIG looks promising.

Re: SWIG package

The SWIG package provided here is only the stock SWIG distribution.  Writing Fortran wrappers for C libraries is not too terrible when using the ISO_C_BINDING module, but it does tend to be rather verbose.  I think a SWIG Fortran output target would be desirable, but one does not currently exist.
